Hi Noreen,Just to add to what Paul has said below, I tried the skype scripts and while they were useful in the past when the older versions of the program were notas accessible as we might have liked, they have, in recent times, actually made it harder for jaws users to work with Skype! There really is no need for them any more and you should have no problems with later versions of skype now. Regards, Stuart. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lists Sent: 04 March 2007 22:48 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: Skype Tutorial: Adding Contacts! Hi Noreen,Skype 3.0 is the latest version and considering your version of jaws which Iknow you have, you don't require scripts for it to work. Here is the download link for you or anyone else who wishes to download it. http://download.skype.com/SkypeSetup.exe Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of noreenmeagher Sent: 04 March 2007 22:32 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: Skype Tutorial: Adding Contacts!

If you wish to add a contact to your Skype list of contacts, first go into Skype. 2. Press "alt key" and then right arrow to "contacts". 3. Press the down arrow and hit enter on search for contacts. 4. If you know the name or email address of a particular contact you are searching for then just type it in the edit box provided and then tab to the "search for contact button" then press the "space bar". Note:For example, I did a search for "Tom Langan" and up popped your name in a list box ready for me to make my next move at adding you to my contacts list. 5. When I down arrowed on the list of results to your name I then make my next choice by going into the application data menu which is the "Third key" from the right side of the "space bar".6. From my list of choices in the application menu I choose:" Start Call".Note: The reason I choose "Start Call" is because in this instance this is the only option I can make in order to alert the person I am calling that I wish to make contact with them. I am hoping that they will notice my call which pops up on the screen saying something like: "User Paul Traynor wishes to add you to his or her contacts list". When I Paul started the call to you Tom, I would have had to write in a short message perhaps explaining who I am or what my business in calling you was. If "you Tom" are then happy to accept my call you tab to the "OK button" and press "enter key or Space bar". Once you have accepted my call "both you Tom and I Paul" are now added to each others Skype contacts list. Its at this point I wish to bring in the reason of why you would find the question you asked relevant Tom. Question: this user has not shared their details with you- What does this mean? and how does one share one's details with a new user. 7. If for some reason you are not present at your computer when the "user Paul" contacts you naturally Pauls request to make contact with you goes unheard by Tom and no action is taken so what Skype does is "places the name Tom in Pauls list of Contacts but with the additional information "this user has not shared their details with you" Also the following factors can also cause this message you receive; *. Tom does not wish to engage in any contact with Paul. *. Tom is off-line at the time Paul tries to make contact and Tom will be notified next time he turns on his computer that the user Paul wishes to make contact. *. Unless Tom responds to Pauls request positively Paul will continue to see the message displayed that the user has not shared his details with you. Was this tutorial useful, please let me know! Regards, Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of noreenmeagher Sent: 03 March 2007 23:50 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: Excel Tutorial: What is a spread sheet? Hi Paul, This would be great as XL/Jaws has changed a lot since I did my ECDLand though I have not been using it much I now find I need to use it more.Keep up the great work.

Please let me know if you feel this is useful as I am not sure how many of you would even use excel but even if you don't it is good to know what excel is and what it does. of a spread sheet:A spreadsheet is a sheet of paper that shows accounting or other data in rows and columns; a spreadsheet is also a computer application program that simulates a physical spreadsheet by capturing, displaying, and manipulating data arranged in rows and columns. The spreadsheet is one of the most popular uses of the personal computer. Okay now that we have some idea of what the spread sheet is, we can simply call excel a "spread sheet program". Most people will have the program "Excel" on their computers, if you have then go into the "start menu, programs" and arrow down till you findit.If you don't find it directly in the programs menu then you may find that arrowing down through the programs menu till you come to a "Microsoft Office" sub menu then right arrowing into it and down arrowing will locate it for you. When you come to it, just press the"enter key".When excel opens up you will be presented with lots and lots of rectangular shapes called cells. These cells are both numbered and alphabetized. Numbers run down the left hand side of the excel page, while letters run across the top of the page. For example you have the first cell on a spread sheet designated "cell A1" the cell to the right of this cell is called "Cell B2" and the cell directly beneath cell A1 is "Cell A2" Now you can try out this for yourselves and just get a feel for the page you are working in. As we go along, I will try and explain useful shortcut keys which you can use within the Excel program both jaws specific keys and excel specific keys. They will all combine to help you use it more effectively. I will wherever necessary try and also include those using magnification if I feel it is necessary. Regards for now, Paul.
